Excellent start to finish - We had a fantastic time on this trip. Olivia was an excellent tour guide and nothing was too much trouble for her. We paid for transfers and they collected us from the airport to take us on the trip. Our plane was two hours delayed but this didn’t matter as they tracked our flight and collected us when we arrived. I would recommend this company and Olivia to anyone interested in this trip! Thanks for a great day!

Tour to do! - Tour organized in the best way, I was accompanied by Vlad who made everything a little more magical, excellent guide who conveys the love for his work, he explains things almost as if he had built them. Super recommended if you do even a couple of days in North Macedonia

Charismatic and passionate guide - Highly recommend Vladimir for anyone looking to explore history in an unforgettable way! He knows multiple languages. His charisma immediately draws you in, making every moment of the tour engaging and enjoyable. I felt comfortable around him (as a female solotraveller). He's also very passionate and knowledgeable about Skopje. Don't miss out!!

Fun half-day tour - I really enjoyed this excursion. After arriving to Skopje in the morning it was an ideal first start that afternoon for the 1 pm option. The cross is cool, but the canyon and cave were definitely my favorite!

Great tour to Canyon Matka, Church of St. Panteleimon and Millenium Cross - Our tour guide Vladimir (Vlad) was great, told us very interesting information about history and culture of Nothern Macedonia and Skopje. Answered all our questions, while he was also a very good driver, drove safely and carefully. Canyon Matka was amazing, beautiful place to visit, we also saw small, interesting church of St. Panteleimon. Only pity was that we had very small amount of time to enjoy the Millenium Cross. Otherwise, the whole trip was great experience.

An informative and entertaining tour, to try! - We took part in the tour that includes Matka Canyon, the Millennium Cross and St. Pantelemon Church, and it was a great experience! Everything was perfectly organized and we had a memorable day. Our guide, Vladimir, has made every stop interesting with his explanations and good humor. We particularly loved Matka Canyon, a beautiful place not to be missed. We recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Skopje!

Definitely recommended! - Definitely recommended. It is a short tour where you first go to a large mountain with beautiful views. Then to a nice little monastery. At the end you go to Matka canyon and that is really beautiful. Pay attention! You can then buy a boat trip to a cave. This still costs 8€ extra and that felt a bit mandatory, but was more than worth it.
